The decision is final and binding.

Contacted by MEDIAFAX, the Bostina si Asociatii law firm, which represented Romgaz in the case, did not make any comments.

The Economy Ministry, which holds 85% of Romgaz, decided in a shareholder meeting on November 30, 2010, that the company would donate RON400 million to the state budget, based on a government decision.

The Proprietatea fund, which holds 15% in Romgaz, voted against the donation and decided to take legal action, claiming the protection of Proprietatea holder rights.(EUR1=RON4.1342)
